Thermal conductivity (k) is ability of heat conduction for material. It is heat (Q) transmitted through a unit thickness (x) in a direction normal to a surface of unit area (A) with temperature difference (dT) at steady state conditions.
Thermal conductivity Unit & Conversion
k = (Q/A).x / dT
Thermal conductivity Unit & Conversion
- 1 W/(mK) = 0.85985 kcal/(hr.moC)
- 1 W/(mK) = 0.57779 Btu/(ft.hr oF)
- 1 W/(mK) = 6.9335 Btu.in/(ft2.hr oF)
